Most of us were given a “deal-based” gospel:God is holy and angry. You are sinful and guilty. Jesus pays your bill. If you accept the deal, you're safe.That's a transaction.That's an exchange.That's a conditional agreement between two parties.But the Gospel — the one Paul preached, the early church protected, and Jesus embodied — was never a transaction.Hester MinistriesPresent Truth Academy The Rorschach God
Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. But in today's world… the planets have changed. In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Kelly Siegel sits down with relationship legend Dr. John Gray, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, to explore how modern stress, hormones, and shifting gender roles are changing love as we know it. Dr. Gray breaks down how testosterone, estrogen, and communication shape attraction, intimacy, and trust, and reveals why understanding biology is the secret to lasting connections in relationships today. This conversation goes way beyond “Mars and Venus.” It's a masterclass in modern love, masculine and feminine energy, and the science behind genuine partnership. Key Takeaways
In this conversation of The Estranged Heart, Kreed explores the complexities of apologizing, particularly in the context of parent-adult child relationships. She emphasizes the importance of sincerity, understanding the impact of one's actions, and the need for time in the healing process. A true apology is characterized by humility, accountability, and a recognition of the other person's experience. Kreed also highlights the difference between sincere and transactional apologies, urging listeners to reflect on their motivations when seeking forgiveness.Takeaways= Sincerity in apologies is often misunderstood by parents.- A true apology acknowledges the impact of one's actions.- Rebuilding trust is essential for rebuilding relationships after hurt.- Repairing relationships takes time and patience.- Transactional apologies lack true sincerity and are conditional.www.TheEstrangedHeart.comEmail: hello@TheEstrangedHeart.comWork with Kreed: https://theestrangedheart.com/services(private coaching, mediation, support groups, webinars, etc.)The Heart Collective Community: https://theestrangedheart.com/membershipFacebook Support Group for Estranged Moms (facilitated by Kreed)https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroupTo support the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: https://buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere

Scott Foster, Canadian Practice Leader of the Global Transaction Advisory Group at Alvarez & Marsal, joins Mario Nigro to discuss transaction diligence in the Canadian midmarket. A&M's integrated Canadian diligence offering has grown in recent years to encompass financial, commercial, operations IT, and tax services. As Scott notes, the current economic climate is extending many diligence processes as clients try to get a more complete picture of the exposure of businesses to tariff and inflation-related pressures. He and Mario also discuss the potential impact of AI on diligence before concluding with a few thoughts about where midmarket M&A is headed.
In this episode, I'm tackling one of the biggest fears holding therapists back from building sustainable online practices: the terror of being "too salesy."If you've ever frozen at the end of a webinar, mumbled through your offer, or avoided pitching your program altogether because you're worried about pressuring people who've already been through so much — this episode is for you.Here's the truth: Your fear of being salesy isn't actually about sales. It's about identity, worth, and deeply ingrained beliefs about what it means to be a "good" therapist. And until you unpack those beliefs and make some critical identity shifts, no amount of perfect pitch scripts or marketing tactics will make you feel comfortable making offers.So today, we're going deep. We're talking about the mistaken beliefs sabotaging your ability to serve, the five identity shifts that transform selling from a threat into an act of service, and the practical framework for making offers that feel aligned, authentic, and effective.Whether you're a therapist launching your first online program, a coach struggling to convert webinar attendees, or a clinician who knows you need to make offers but feels gross every time you try — this conversation will meet you right where you are.Here's what we cover in this episode:The mistaken beliefs keeping you stuck — including why you think making an offer equals manipulation (spoiler: it doesn't), why you're waiting for people to chase you down instead of leading them forward, and why you think talking about your program "takes away" from the value you're giving.The four identity shifts that change everything — from Healer to Guide, Helper to Advocate, Clinician to Creator, Transactional to Transformational, and Rule-Follower to Ethical Innovator. These aren't just mindset tweaks — they're fundamental rewirings of how you see yourself and your role.What you're not seeing when you don't make offers — the real consequence of staying silent about your programs, and how your fear of being pushy is actually denying people the agency to choose their own path forward.The reframe that makes pitching feel like service — including the coaching questions that reveal whether you have a sales problem or a conviction problem, and why treating your webinar attendees differently than you'd treat your best friend is costing you (and them) transformation.The 5-step framework for making offers that convert — from getting clear on your conviction first, to setting up the pitch at the beginning, using consent at offer time, making it about them (not you), and trusting them to decide for themselves.Resources & Links Mentioned:
The romanticized image of the endlessly wealthy sugar daddy showering his companion with private jets and designer bags is fading in the face of harsh economic realities. A broad economic squeeze is impacting benefactors, who are increasingly mid-career professionals rather than just the ultra-rich, and they are finding it difficult to maintain the "G6 lifestyle." As one article highlights, these men are now skipping their own meals to cover a sugar baby's nail appointment and lamenting that they can only afford "Delta Economy Class." This financial strain has given rise to "Splenda daddies" and "salt daddies," men who can no longer be as generous as they once were, leading to disappointment and conflict within these transactional relationships.Sugar babies are feeling the pinch as well, with one complaining her lavish birthday expectations of a trip to the Philippines were dashed when she received a pair of headphones. This new dynamic, where "prices are getting higher, and sex is getting cheaper," has intensified the "hustle" for sugar babies. Finding a viable benefactor has become a tactical operation, with guides suggesting potential babies strategically position themselves in specific high-end locales. These include exclusive hotel bars, the service centers of luxury car dealerships, private airport terminals, and specific seating levels at major sporting events, all in a calculated effort to "meet their next benefactor out in the wild."However, this increased financial pressure and the inherent nature of the arrangements can lead to far more extreme and manipulative behaviors. When these "mutually beneficial" relationships break down, some sugar babies have resorted to criminal extortion and fraud. A legal analysis of sugar dating in Singapore highlights several court cases where these tactics were employed. In one instance, a 23-year-old woman was jailed for cheating a man out of over S$8,000 after pretending to be underage. In another case, a woman filed a false rape report against her sugar daddy following a dispute over payment. Other common manipulative tactics include catfishing, lying about one's age, and, most notably, extortion by threatening to expose intimate materials or the nature of the relationship itself.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts
Change Your Message, Attract and Book Your “Highest Self” Buyer Content feeling forced lately? It's likely a signal that your message needs to change. In this episode, I sit down with powerhouse business coach Julie Solomon to unpack how to refine your message so it reflects who you are now (and attracts the clients you actually want to work with). Julie breaks down her Identity Elevation Framework, revealing how to move from marketing to your “former self buyer” to speaking directly to your “highest self buyer”. This conversation is a must-listen if your content feels off, your offers aren't converting the way they used to, or you're ready to scale through clarity, not chaos. Together, we dive deep into the specifics of how to shift from transactional marketing to transformational messaging. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ You Scale By Being Seen As More, Not Doing More – True growth doesn't come from posting more, producing more, or hustling harder. It comes from being seen as the elevated and aligned version of yourself and allowing your message to reflect that transformation. 2️⃣ Start Selling To Your Highest Self Buyer – Creating content for the old version of yourself is guaranteed to keep you stuck. Julie's framework shows you how to shift your message to attract clients who are already aligned and ready to buy. 3️⃣ Transformational Messaging vs. Transactional Messaging – Transactional marketing focuses on process, while transformational messaging sells aspiration. When your words reflect who your audience wants to become, they recognize themselves and take action faster.

Send us a textA seven-year sentence becomes 84 days, and the country learns a lesson it won't soon forget: when loyalty becomes currency, justice gets priced. We break down George Santos's commutation, why it happened, and what it signals about how power is exercised and rewarded. The receipts are not in dispute—wire fraud, identity theft, donor deception—but the outcome reframes the rules of accountability. We talk through the GOP's split response, the electoral math in Long Island swing districts, and how “political clemency” reshapes expectations for allies and adversaries alike.From there, we pivot to a tragedy on a Charlotte light rail where a young refugee, safe from war, was killed while systems buckled and bystanders froze. It's a painful case study in mental health failure, repeat-offender oversight, and the quiet contagion of indifference. To counter that drift, we turn to the anatomy of courage—drawing on Cornell West's insight that courage is the enabling virtue that makes love, hope, and truth-telling possible. Examples move cultures; apathy does too. The choice between them is a daily discipline, not a slogan.Finally, we examine assisted dying at scale: the UK's fast-moving legislation and Canada's expanding MAID program. The data are stark and the moral stakes high. Autonomy and compassion matter, but so do solidarity, palliative care, and how policy language lands on people who are disabled, poor, or alone. When dignity is treated as conditional—on health, cost, or utility—pressure can masquerade as choice. We argue for a society that invests in care, reduces coercion, and treats every life as non-negotiable.If this conversation challenges you, share it with a friend, rate the show, and leave a review.

Billy Napier was let go as the Gators turned the page on a failed four-year tenure ending with a 22-23 record and on track for a third losing season.

Send us a textWe can't relive the past, but the past never really leaves us. In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and co-host Tiffanee Cook to explore how our history continues to shape who we are, what we value, and how we show up today. We unpack why the environments, people, and strengths that fueled our success in the past are a mirror reflecting what matters most to us now, and how dissecting those elements can help us become the best version of ourselves.Together, we dig into why the most meaningful parts of our lives almost always involve relationships, not transactions, and why success in business and life requires more than strategy, it requires being in the right environment with the right people. We discuss relational vs. transactional business models, the role of community, and why people who genuinely care are good for business. After all, Gallup research shows that 70% of the variance in all business outcomes is directly related to the department manager. Translation: people matter, and leaders who foster connection create the conditions for growth.This is a conversation about memory, meaning, and the environments that allow us to thrive, because the past may be behind us, but it still has a lot to teach us about the future.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com
In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, John McMahon and John Kaplan are joined by Tom Heiser to explore the true meaning of empowerment, accountability, and intent in leadership. From the dangers of “pocket vetoes” to the military-inspired concept of Commander's Intent, this discussion unpacks how transformational leaders create environments where teams thrive. Listeners will gain practical insights on fostering trust, enabling decision-making, and avoiding the traps of transactional leadership.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:58] The illusion of empowerment — why saying “you're empowered” while secretly holding the answer is demotivating.[00:01:39] Transactional vs. transformational leadership — the difference between “just selling” and growing through responsibility.[00:02:23] The power of accountability — great leaders inspect what they assign, signaling its importance.[00:03:25] Commander's Intent in business — lessons from the military on giving clear direction while allowing creativity.[00:04:56] Different team dynamics — recognizing who thrives with intent versus who needs step-by-step guidance.[00:06:00] The paralysis of over-measurement — how too many metrics can crush motivation and productivity.QUOTES[00:00:58] “There are very few things less motivating than being told you're empowered, but realizing the leader already had the answer.”[00:01:39] “You're either in a transactional environment or a transformational one. Transformational management forces you to grow.”[00:02:23] “Great leadership inspects what it expects. That accountability keeps people honest and shows them the work matters.”[00:03:25] “Commander's Intent gives people the ability to operate freely within boundaries and often deliver more powerful outcomes.”[00:06:04] “Leaders who measure by eight different ways paralyze their people—they can't even get out of bed in the morning.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/empowering-leadership-persistence-adaptability-and-self-awareness-with-tom-heiserEnjoying the podcast?

College athletics feels more transactional than ever — transfers, NIL deals, and short stints define the current landscape. But here's the truth: you can still be transformational, even if you only have athletes for a short period of time.In this episode, I break down the three questions every player development professional, coach, or leader must help their athletes answer:Who am I as a person? (Identity beyond sport)Who am I as a leader? (The impact I want to have)What are my personal and professional interests? (Dreams that last after the final whistle)These questions may seem simple, but if you guide athletes through them, even six months in your program will leave a lifelong imprint.We'll talk about practical ways to build initiatives, conversations, and programming around these questions — and how you can stay transformational in a transactional era.
PREVIEW: GUEST NAME: Veronique de Rugy SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Veronique de Rugy about the Trump administration's inconsistent industrial policy. De Rugy explains it's transactional, based on "deal-by-deal" decisions, not a clear philosophy. She notes the logic is hard to follow, as it's not consistently about fighting China or semiconductors, citing Nvidia's sales to China. 1907 NYSE

This morning, as we begin our season of generosity, our worship will center on the well-known story of the prodigal son from the Gospel of Luke. In telling the parable, Jesus teaches us that faithful generosity springs from relationship -- our relationship with Him, His unending generosity toward us, and the life we share as His body, the Church. We'll see that God's generosity is not earned or calculated; it is a gift that calls us into deeper connection with one another. Join us for worship and be reminded that generosity is not something we do to settle accounts, but the natural fruit of being held in the generous embrace of Christ. Sermon on Luke 15:11-32, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on September 14th, 2025.

Why Does My Business Website Have No or Low Internet Traffic? (SEO Masterclass with Favour Obasi-Ike) | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.This Clubhouse LIVE! Audio Marketing Club discussion centers on common reasons why websites experience low or no traffic, primarily attributing it to lack of connection with search engines like Google Search Console. Favour emphasizes that a website is like a "house," requiring proper ownership and consistent engagement to appear in search results and gain visibility.Sign up for our 4-Day LIVE! Marketing Workshop | Starting August 26-29, 2025 | Click this link here to sign up!The conversation further explores the importance of transactional value on websites and the strategic use of platforms like Reddit, Wikipedia, YouTube, and Google for driving traffic, highlighting that owning your digital real estate is crucial for long-term business success with traditional and artificial intelligence search engines. Favour advises businesses to focus on strategy, consistency, and answering user queries through their website content to improve their online presence and conversion rates.FAQS: Website Traffic | The Engine and The FuelWhy does my website have low or no traffic?The primary reason a website experiences low or no traffic is a lack of connection to search engines. Your website needs to be recognized and indexed by major search engines like Google (via Google Search Console), Bing (via Bing Webmasters Tools), Yandex, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, and even AI search engines like ChatGPT and answer search engines like Alexa. Without this connection, your website is essentially invisible to people searching for information, products, or services that you offer. Think of your website as a car; without a battery (the connection to search engines), it won't run, no matter how good it looks.How do search engines act as the "battery" for your website?Search engines are the "battery" because they provide the power and connectivity needed for your website to be found. Just as a car needs an active battery to drive or a remote needs batteries to turn on a TV, a website needs to be connected to search engines to gain visibility and traffic. These platforms are the conduits through which potential visitors discover your content. If your website isn't indexed and recognized by these engines, it's like having a car without an engine – it exists, but it cannot function as intended to bring you where you need to go.What is Google Search Console and why is its connection to my website crucial?Google Search Console is Google's internet service provider for your website. It's the critical link that allows Google to understand and index your site's content. Connecting your website to Google Search Console is the first step in ensuring your site can be found by users through Google searches. Without this connection, Google cannot effectively "see" or "read" your website, making it difficult for your content to appear in search results. It's also vital for verifying ownership of your website, similar to holding the title deed to a car – you can't truly operate or sell something you don't legally own.What does "domain authority" mean and how does it impact website traffic?Domain authority is a measure of a website's credibility and trustworthiness in the eyes of search engines. A higher domain authority generally leads to better search engine rankings and more traffic. When you first launch a website, its domain authority is effectively zero. Consistently creating and updating high-quality content, building valuable backlinks, and ensuring your website is connected to search engines can gradually increase your domain authority. This is a long-term strategy; typically, a website gains about seven domain authority points per year with consistent effort. The higher your domain authority, the more Google trusts your site and the more likely it is to rank higher in search results.Why is owning your website and its properties (like Google Search Console) so important for long-term success?Owning your website and its associated properties, especially Google Search Console, is paramount because it grants you control and access to your digital real estate and traffic data. Without clear ownership (e.g., if a developer verifies Google Search Console under their account instead of yours), you risk losing control over your site's visibility, data, and future direction. This ownership ensures that the traffic and insights generated from your online efforts truly benefit your business, rather than contributing to platforms or entities you don't control. It's about building and owning assets, not just renting space.How does content strategy, particularly answering specific questions, contribute to website traffic?Creating targeted content, especially articles that directly answer frequently asked questions, is a highly effective way to gain traffic. When people search for specific information, they are looking for concise and direct answers. By structuring your content to provide these precise answers, you increase the likelihood of your website appearing in search results for relevant queries. This approach focuses on fulfilling user needs and providing immediate value, which search engines recognize and reward with better visibility. The more questions you answer well, the more traffic you'll attract.What is "transactional value" in website content and why is it crucial for increasing traffic?Transactional value in website content refers to anything that facilitates an exchange or provides a clear benefit, leading to an action, decision, or deeper engagement from the user. This isn't limited to direct sales; it also includes providing useful information that helps users make informed decisions, offering resources, or solving problems. Websites that consistently offer transactional value (whether it's through product reviews, how-to guides, educational content, or direct sales) are more likely to attract and retain traffic because users perceive them as useful and goal-oriented. Platforms like Reddit, Wikipedia, YouTube, and Amazon are highly cited by AI search engines because they all offer diverse forms of transactional value.What are common mistakes businesses make that hinder website traffic, and what should they focus on instead?Common mistakes include failing to connect to search engines, not owning their website's key properties (like Google Search Console), neglecting content creation and updates, and using landing pages when a full website is needed. Many businesses also fall into the trap of solely relying on social media platforms they don't own, instead of driving traffic back to their own website. To succeed, businesses should focus on strategic planning, consistent content creation, actively managing their website's SEO (Search Everywhere Optimization), understanding and utilizing their analytics, and ensuring their website offers clear transactional value. It's about building a digital asset that you control, rather than just participating in rented digital spaces.Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> SEO Optimization Blogs>> Book Complimentary SEO Discovery Call>> Subscribe to We Don't PLAY PodcastBrands We Love and SupportLoving Me Beauty | Buy Vegan-based Luxury ProductsUnlock your future in real estate—get certified in Ghana today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
